Multidimensional seismic fragility analysis of subway station structures using the adaptive bandwidth kernel density estimation and Copula function

Underground Space
Structural damages during an earthquake are typically controlled by seismic demands, which are represented by the combination of amplitude of ground motion and cyclic load effects.

Optimal seismic upgrade timing in seaports with increasing throughput demand via real options [PDF]

, 2018
A real options (RO) formulation is proposed for decision-making on the timing to upgrade the seismic performance of existing seaports with increasing throughput demand in earthquake prone areas.

Finite Element Modelling of Rocking and Hybrid Precast Walls under Seismic Loading

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, self‐centring systems have received considerable research interest in the seismic design of precast concrete structures for their ability to limit damage and satisfy resilience requirements. Rocking and hybrid structural walls, characterised by the formation of a single gap at the wall–foundation interface, mitigate damage by ...

New Zealand contributions to the global earthquake model’s earthquake consequences database (GEMECD) [PDF]

, 2015
The Global Earthquake Model’s (GEM) Earthquake Consequences Database (GEMECD) aims to develop, for the first time, a standardised framework for collecting and collating geocoded consequence data induced by primary and secondary seismic hazards to ...

Sensitivity of Risk‐Based Demand Curves to Analytical Fragility Function Fitting Using Multiple‐Stripe Analyses

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Risk‐based seismic assessments using demand curves that provide mean annual exceedance rates for various system demand levels are increasingly being adopted. Such assessments combine the seismic hazard curve with fragility functions for each demand level, serving as a basis to quantify the average annual losses from system damage. Constructing

Seismic Damage Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dam Based on Wavelet Transform

Shock and Vibration, 2016
The key to the dam damage assessment is analyzing the remaining seismic carrying capacity after an earthquake occurs. In this paper, taking Koyna concrete gravity dam as the object of study, the dynamic response and damage distribution of the dam are ...

Seismic damage in historic town centres and attenuation criteria

Annals of Geophysics, 1995
The structural significance of the damage scenarios characteristic of VIII and IX degrees on the MKS macroseismic scale is discussed with reference to the seismic behaviour of the buildings which make up the urban fabric of a historic town or city. In an
